As Royal Ascot Winner Eyes Next Group One Prize at Sandown"},"content":{"rendered":"

The John and Thady Gosden-trained Ombudsman was one of the stars of Royal Ascot this season and horse racing fans will see him next at Sandown on Saturday – but does the Godolphin-owned 4 year-old tick the key Coral Eclipse trends? Or are there any standout stats to take him on with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ombudsman will take on just five other Coral-Eclipse runners. Including French Derby winner Camille Pissarro, 2000 Guineas victor Ruling Court, the Ryan Moore-ridden Delacroix and top French middle-distance performer Sosie.<\/p>\n

The Coral Eclipse Trends Suggest Ombudsman Ticks A Lot Of Boxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before the recent Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, the betting suggested that Godolphin’s Ombudsman only had a ‘squeak’ – priced at 7\/1 with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK.<\/p>\n

With four horses shorter in the market – including the hot favourite Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

However, after the race those odds looked all wrong as Ombudsman, under jockey William Buick, won showing a great turn-of-foot<\/em> to see off last season’s Champion Stakes winner and 123-rated Anmaat by an easy two lengths.<\/p>\n

As at result, the Ombudsman official rating<\/a> shot up from 117 to a new mark of 128.<\/p>\n

And this time the layers are taking no chances on him in the Coral-Eclipse – making him the clear favourite in the market.<\/p>\n

He’s now won five of his six career starts, with his only defeat coming in his season’s Brigadier Gerard Stakes in May (more on that below).<\/p>\n

So, heading into the Group One Coral-Eclipse, we know the betting is telling us Ombudsman is the one to beat.<\/p>\n

But does he also tick the key Coral- Eclipse trends?<\/p>\n
